Booking, step by step
- Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
- Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Receive and file it. The certificate is lodged nationally and emailed across, normally within 24 hours.
What the assessor looks at in a Dorridge property
Dorridge is characterised by Edwardian railway villas and generously proportioned inter-war detached houses — the streets around Dorridge Park and Dorridge station, and out through Station Road, Blue Lake, Grove Road and Four Ashes. On cavity-built inter-war stock, the assessor is mainly recording an empty wall cavity, a loft that was insulated decades ago and has since been flattened by storage, and draughty timber floors.
Mains gas is the norm here, so the fuel type is rarely the problem. The age of the boiler and whether it has proper controls usually is.
Expect the assessor to be on site for around three quarters of an hour, measuring and photographing. It is a survey of what is visible, which is exactly why paperwork matters.
How to prepare
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
